Indianapolis Senior Photographer | Featured senior

Meet Payton, A Greenfield Central High School Class of 2017 Senior.  I've known Payton since she was about 8. She used to spend days at a time at my house with my daughter. She was like her sister for several years. They grew apart at some point, and I hadn't seen her in awhile, so I was so excited when Payton asked me to do her senior photos! She has turned into a beautiful young woman :) Had a great time at her session! Isn't she gorgeous?

Class of 2018, I am now booking for your senior year! Give me a call 317-319-6045, or shoot me an email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will get you set up!  I am also looking for my class of 2018 senior model team, which will be decided upon in February, so if that interests you, definitely get ahold of me!

 
 

Indiana Senior Photographer | Featured senior of the week -

Whew, now that I am slowing down a bit, I can start sharing some of these amazing senior sessions we have had this year! Kaylee, from Greenfield Central High School, came back in Sept for her session. She had her hair and makeup done by my amazing makeup artist, Amy and then we headed to Falls Park for her session, as it was a place she spent a lot of time with her grandma. Great way to keep and make new memories. Grandma came along as well! We had a great time, and I definitely had to make her get wet! It's the best location for playing in the water :)

 

Indiana Senior Pictures | Meet Class of 2016 Senior Model Bailey

Bailey is graduating from Pendleton Heights High School this spring. She wanted a Fall look to her personal session, so we went out in Oct and got a very gloomy day, but we didn't let that stop us and we got some really great, unique pictures! There are also a few of her Model photos here from our waterfall shoot, and from a shoot she did in Panama City, FL.

Indiana photographer |Softball

It's that time of year again! Travel softball! I have photographed several teams this season, but this is by far my favorite! Probably because I know these girls. They are my daughter's teammates, and this is one of the most drama free sweet group of girls I know! Love them so much! I would love to add ALL of the photos, but that would be total overload, so I will post a couple of each pose and of course our Team banner and this year's memory mate! Pretty sure it's my favorite Ever! :)  If you are in need of sports photography or if you are a senior who plays sports and needs senior photos, please contact me! My middle senior package includes a visit to one of your games, and I LOVE to include sports photos in your senior session as well!

Baby Ellerie and big sis Delainey | Indiana Newborn Photographer

I have had the pleasure of working with this family a couple of times. I did Miss Delainey's newborn photos 2 years ago, and they brought her and her newborn baby sis, Ellerie, for photos this time. We did Ellerie's newborn photos and a couple of photos for Delainey's 2 year pictures. They are such adorable little girls. I had a great time with them :)

Last 2012 Senior of the year | Indiana Senior Photographer

As usual, I am a bit behind on blogging. This was my last 2012 Senior. It's now time to book your Class of 2013 senior photo session! Make sure you scroll down and check out my new "Ipad for referrals" program so you can earn your own free Ipad! But before that, enjoy LOGAN. Logan asked for a unique Vintage processing on the weight lifting photos. They turned out really great and fun! Loved this session. He had his own ideas and it was very unique :)

D Family and Rylan's 1st birthday Cake smash | Indianapolis child and family photographer

I recently had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous family over in Geist Park. Afterwards, we headed to their home to get Rylan's cake smash photos. SO MUCH FUN. I love watching babies dig into that cake for the first time! You just never know what their reaction will be. Rylan didn't know what to think at first, but once he got a taste of that yummy goodness, he was all about it! Here are a few of my favorites from our session :)
